Ghost Town
When: Sept. 19
Who: Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, Tea Leoni; directed by David Koepp
What: Bertram Pincus (Gervais) is a dentist who has very limited people skills. But when he dies and is miraculously revived seven minutes later, he comes back with the ability to see dead people--especially Frank (Kinnear), who wants Bertram to break up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Leoni).
Kit Says: Yeah, no M. Night Shyamalan scary ghost kids throwing up in this one. Ghost Town is purely for the laughs, with our favorite droll Brit TV star Gervais trying his hand as leading man in the romantic comedy department. Does he have the chops to pull it off? I’m betting he does. Plus, he has a lot of support from veteran rom-comers Kinnear and Leoni.
